Inflatable Dinghy Sculpin!! | Dana Point Fishing

We’ve finally uploaded a video fishing in our dinghy! We’ve been fishing and hoop netting locally for a few months in the boat now. In this video, we launched out of Dana Point Harbor and went south in search of sculpin. Hope you guys enjoy!
We took about a 40 minute run south of the harbor and started fishing in 180 feet. We mostly caught sand dabs so we made a move to the 230 foot range and started catching sculpin. We were using larger jigs tipped with squid to avoid the rockfish. We were able to catch mostly sculpin with the exception of a few reds, which were descended and released. Ended the day with 7 legal sculpin and about 20 short sculpin we released.

[@nofish4you296]

I have yet to come across a package lol. I wonder what's the protocol to get it properly disposed? Tight lines 🤙🎣

[@GetBentSportfishing]

we thought about calling the coast guard but by the time they got there it would’ve drifted too far soo idk

[@viejo1715]

you guys ever thought of doing a video on the dinghy? I just picked one up thats similar. trying to figure out the Fishfinder set up. what finder you use and battery hookup, etc? hope to see you on the water sometime. i'll be in a 14 foot red and black "quicksilver" dinghy! trying to figure everything out!

[@GetBentSportfishing]

that's a good suggestion actually, would make for a good video. good luck out there!

[@bluedoggum8373]

Can you guys launch at a beach in so cal or do they freak out when you do that. Seems it would be really awkward always launching from a harbor depending on your destination.

[@GetBentSportfishing]

I suppose we could push the boat down the beach but it wouldn't really be ideal, the harbor is generally easier for us. I don't think anyone would mind if we wheeled it down but you couldn't beach launch with a trailer.

[@justinperez8996]

When u gonna make more vids, and do u use warbaits when fishing for them or no

[@GetBentSportfishing]

We got a few videos lined up for the next little while. You could definitely use warbaits heads with a swimbait but you’ll need to fish it on a dropper loop with weight to get it deep enough

[@ia6980]

15hp must be pretty heavy to handle for one person.

[@kadonbarns2794]

What is that rig called that you were slaying them on?

[@GetBentSportfishing]

Shimano Lucanus (gear is always in our description)

[@masonmize9258]

What fish finder do you guys run?

[@GetBentSportfishing]

simrad cruise 7

[@ruslanfennessy9898]

how do you guys find your fishing spots

[@GetBentSportfishing]

we'll look at depth charts and then just meter around a few areas and mark spots with good structure and/or fish

[@yellowtail.outdoors]

What bait did ya use

[@GetBentSportfishing]

it's always in the description, but we used coltsnipers and a lucanus flat tipped with squid

[@yellowtail.outdoors]

@@GetBentSportfishing Ok rad!

[@KiwiReacts]

How far do you go on your inflatable…

[@GetBentSportfishing]

it's really weather dependent, we've gone pretty far when the conditions permit lol

[@KiwiReacts]

@@GetBentSportfishing nice! Hopefully i see more videos with this boat! 🤘🤘🤘

[@GetBentSportfishing]

@@KiwiReacts there will definitely be more in the near future!

What dinghy do you have?

[@nathanle7787]

do you need a boating license or register for something to be legally operating an inflatable boat like this? i want to build a boat like this but not good with the law so would be great to hear from you!

[@GetBentSportfishing]

I believe any boat with a motor on it needs to be registered, and we have the CF registration numbers for ours. We also both have our boaters cards, but you can take a free online course to get those

[@donaldmartin4620]

You do not need a boater card just to register it and have your fishing license amd your good now if you go on rivers you do need the boat card think I seen you giy launch from there I take my dingy out to it’s 10 fit maxxon amd fish for thresher try it it’s fun to catch them
